Description

Voibe is the fastest way to write on Mac with your voice. Dictate in any app, get accurate text instantly, and stay in flow.

It is fully offline and private by design, running locally with state of the art Speech to text models optimized to run on the device. No cloud processing, no audio uploads.

It is ideal for anyone who writes a lot or works, helping you draft emails, notes, documents, and long form content faster and with less strain than typing. It also fits modern AI workflows, since speaking full context is often easier than typing, which leads to clearer instructions and better outputs.

For many active users of Voibe, it has effectively become a replacement of their keyboard.

Key Features
- Low latency dictation: Text appears quickly as you speak, so you can keep your flow instead of waiting for delayed transcription.

- Works everywhere: Voibe can type into every macOS app wherever your cursor is, so it works for all use cases - writing, working with AI, browsing, etc.

- On device processing: Voibe runs the speech to text model directly on your Mac, so transcription happens locally instead of sending audio to a server.

- Works offline: Dictation keeps working even with no WiFi or a bad connection because the entire pipeline runs on your device.

- Privacy by design: Your voice audio stays on your Mac and is processed locally, so there is no cloud upload or third party retention.

- Push to talk workflow: Intuitive and consistent user experience, where you hold your favorite hotkey to speak and release to stop and transcribe, irrespective of the app you are on. No app specific dictation, no looking for specific buttons inside specific apps, etc

- Developer mode: While working inside coding agents like cursor, VS Code, etc, When you mention file or folder names, Voibe can match them against the active workspace and insert the right names without the classic mistakes every other dictation app would make.

Benefits
- Save at least 1 hour everyday: Voibe users write about 3 times faster than typing, based on app usage data.

- Stay in flow: Write at the speed of thought without keyboard bottlenecks, maintaining concentration during heavy writing sessions.

- Speak your intent clearly for better AI output: Voice is the most natural way to give input to AI. This makes it easier to give full context, which leads to better prompts thereby better outputs with fewer iterations.

- Write anywhere, even when connectivity is bad: Because everything runs on your Mac, your writing routine does not depend on WiFi, mobile signal, or a server being up.

- Keep sensitive work off the cloud: Your audio is processed on device, so private content stays on your Mac.

- Spend less time fixing mistakes: Voibe is very accurate for regular typing. Custom dictionary improves recognition for names, brands, acronyms, and your personal vocabulary, so you correct less.

- Reduce typing fatigue: Less keyboard time helps you stay productive on heavy writing days.

- Make writing possible when typing is difficult: Useful for people with RSI, hand pain, mobility limitations, or other accessibility needs that make sustained typing hard.
